Causes of deforestation
Agricultural activities are one of the major factors affecting
deforestation. Due to overgrowing demand for food
products, huge amount of tress are fell down to grow
crops and for cattle gazing. Oil and coal mining require
considerable amount of forest land. Apart from this, roads
and highways have to be built to make way for trucks and
other equipment. The waste that comes out from mining
pollutes the environment and effects the species living
there. It is also caused by many forest fires.
